I suspect the Rs were protecting BR .. probably thinking LE would not need to question him if he were not awake ..
.. or ..
.. BR was indeed, asleep and the voice actually is PR's?
Protecting Burke from being questioned? Why would they need to do that if they were innocent?? That makes no sense. Your daughter has been brutally murdered. Don't you want to do EVERYTHING possible to help find her killer? Also the fact that his statements conflict with his parents statements gives me the motivation for their refusal to place him as part of the reporting of the crime. Very telling and unfortunately their legal team prevented any actual information that Burke knew, from LE. Not the way innocent people would approach their daughters 'kidnapping/murder'.
And what about John saying "we're not speaking to you". Ok, if BR is not there, that sentence makes no sense at all. No way he says that to Patsy. Why? In what context? And who would be the "we" he is speaking of? Burke is either in that room while that call is being made or there is someone else in the house that night. Btw, I did hear the original call where you can hear these comments very well. Burke said "what did you find" and John replied: "we are not speaking to you", in a tone of voice that told me he was very unhappy with Burke in that moment. It could have been because Burke had walked in and they didn't know it, but I think it was more than that. I am starting to really believe that John or Patsy found JonBenet with her head bashed and immediately went into cover-up mode because they believe (whether or not it's true) that Burke is responsible.
Heyya joeskidbeck.
"Are you goin' to arrest me?"
Suggests an authority figure, other than the parents was there.
Parents don't have arresting powers.

Also odd: "I am the mother."
Really? It's so stilted. Like she's already filled in the rest: I am the mother of the victim. I am the mother...it will be reported by the media. I am the mother...mourning the death of her daughter. Well, maybe it's nothing, but I noticed it.
She's already said "our daughter," "my daughter," the 911 operator said "your daughter"...how many times?
Remember that Patsy had a degree in journalism and worked in the field for years after she married John. She also worked with him while he got his small company off the ground.
More importantly, Patsy was a state champion and national champion runner up in...acting competition for several years when she was in high school. I coached students in that kind of competition--"oral interpretation"--as well as attended the competitions. The winners could perform on Broadway, make no mistake. These young people are really talented and take your breath away. That was Patsy.
She also wrote a monologue days before her Miss America talent competition, because her standard, award-winning monologue was from The Prime Of Miss Jean Brody and she was denied rights to perform it by the publisher because it was to be aired on national TV. She did so well she won a scholarship for that performance. I'm telling you, she was good.
Was she performing for the 911 operator? Since I firmly believe she wrote the note--also bringing her journalism and writing talents to bear--and is linked to the crime through other evidence, yeah, I think she was performing. She probably jogged in place for a few minutes before she called. That's an old trick long used in acting techniques.
Well, that's my opinion, anyhow.
What this on the TV you heard it?
Sorry, you've probably said before....I'm amazed it isn't in the public domain.
I mean, we can get Secret Files on the Afghan War....why not the full tape?
What occurred that evening and / or that morning that caused BR to ponder: "Are you goin' to arrest me?"
Interesting.
makes me think of
JR:"They keep a lot inside and they don't really start thinking about it until they get to be 40 years old and that's when it hurts."
Why around 40?Cause that's when the guilty conscience starts to kick in?
maybe you wouldn't feel so guilty about things when being 20 or 30,you're busy with other stuff in life,but around 40 you start thinking about what you did and accomplish in life,what mistakes you've done.....it starts to eat you up inside.......
interesting JR comment (slip?) anyway...
I mean,if your sister was murdered when you were a little boy.....why would it hurt only around 40?doesn't make sense.......
but if it's about guilt,it does.
What if the Rs allowed their children to 'experiment' with sex play?
.. or perhaps the Rs did not know BR and JBR 'played'?
I might believe the latter.
What if BR attempted to carry JBR whilst she was asleep to his room or to the basement and along the way he accidentally dropped her on her head or hit her head against the spiral stair pillar?
With a severe fracture, JBR would have awakened after the impact but would not have been fully cognizant .. leaving BR to go beyond what they'd 'normally' had done, without any resistance from JBR.
The BDSM scene? BR might have found a magazine(s) at his residence or perhaps at an R family friend's house .. and he simply wanted to act out what he had seen?
Sometime during the play, JBR dies not so long after having been dropped or hit on her head.
When did either or both Rs discover the situation?
PR: "what did you find (tell me?), what did you do."
I believe that rhetorical questioning occurred way beyond initial discovery, that it simply was PR still in a non-belief state, rhetorically asking her one child what he had told her earlier about what he had done with her other child.
At what point did the Rs determine they could not remove JBR's body from the dwelling without the possibility of being seen?
Did the R's first think they could make it look like a runaway situation, with JBR having packed a suitcase and leaving? .. a missing JBR, a missing suitcase, obvious runaway?
I suspect some of the missing notepad pages might have contained a practice "runaway note".
What would observers think if they saw an R or an R's friend removing a suitcase from the property .. and perhaps through a basement window?
Were the Rs intent on hiding JBR's body and eventually to make it 'disappear' whilst a 'runaway note' hung fresh in the air for LE to peruse?
Unworkable. Unbelievable. A 6-yr-old runaway? Nah.
They needed to 'explain' the death .. think, think .. a ransom note? A kidnapping gone wrong?
What did the Rs say to BR? "Don't tell anyone because you'll be arrested and go to jail. We'll protect you." ?
I believe the JBR death was an accidental death and the sexual scene was carried out between siblings whilst the one sibling was not aware of the severity of the other's head injury since there was no visible injury beyond perhaps JBR's probably-quite-subdued demeanor.
For BR to remain silent and to refuse to speak with LE at this time might be an indication of his innocence and / or a grudge-carryover from when the BPD was determined to catch the parents who he knows to be innocent .. or .. the parents ARE guilty and / or ..
.. BR has something else to hide .. such as what I posted above?
I am in total shock!! So you honestly believe that the R's are guilty?! What made you change your mind please?
